1 ACO Program: Quality Reporting Requirements Jennifer Faerberg Mary Wheatley April 28, 2011
2 Agenda for Today s Call Overview Quality Reporting Requirements Benchmarks/Thresholds Scoring Model Scoring Methodology Data Collection Performance Measures 2
3 Proposed Rule Overview Released March 31; published in Federal Register on April 7 (76 Fed. Reg ) Comments due June 6 OIG, DOJ/FTC and IRS released companion documents same day (limited waivers and antitrust safety zones ) OIG will accept comments through June 6 DOJ/FTC will accept comments through May 31 IRS will accept comments through May 31 Documents available on AAMC website: 3
4 Proposed Rule Overview (Cont.) ACOs would enter into 3 year agreements as early as January 1, 2012 Applies only to Medicare FFS population, not Medicare Advantage (MA) Participants continue to receive FFS payments through agreement period Must meet cost and quality benchmarks to be eligible for savings Quality scores determine percent of shared savings/losses 4
5 5 Reporting Requirements
6 Quality Reporting Requirements Must report on all quality measures to be eligible for shared savings Initially report on 65 measures (more in future years) 5 care domains Patient/caregiver experience (CG-CAHPS) Care coordination (MU, erx) Patient safety (HACs) Preventive health At-risk population/frail elderly health 6
7 Quality Measures Measures primarily physician focused Align with Physician and Hospital Reporting Programs (PQRS, IQR, erx) and Meaningful Use Data submitted via claims, survey and modified PQRS group practice reporting option (GPRO) tool 7
8 Measuring Performance Initial year reporting only no performance thresholds Years 2 and 3 based on performance Must meet minimum threshold for ALL measures Not all measures in current reporting programs 8
9 9 Benchmarks/Thresholds
10 Benchmarks/Thresholds Each measure has a minimum attainment threshold and performance benchmark Minimum threshold proposed at 30 th percentile CMS will determine benchmarks based on Medicare FFS, Medicare Advantage or ACO performance dependent upon data availability Benchmarks available prior to start of the ACO 10
11 11 Scoring Models/Methodology
12 Scoring Models Performance based (proposed model) Ability to score higher percentage based on performance Minimum threshold (30 th percentile) Minimum threshold Minimum threshold higher (50 th percentile) Full savings if minimum threshold met Fixed quality percentage Hybrid Start with threshold and move to performance 12
13 Measuring Performance Measures will be scored similar to hospital value-based purchasing model Receive points for each measure on sliding scale NO points awarded for performance below minimum threshold (30 th percentile) Measures aggregated by domain Domains weighted equally All measures and domains must meet minimum threshold to be eligible for savings Total performance score determines eligible % of shared savings 13
14 Measure Scoring Source pg
15 Total Points Per Domain Domain # Measures 1-sided model: Max Potential Pts Per Domain Patient/Caregiver Experience Care Coordination 2-sided model: Max Potential Pts Per Domain Patient Safety Preventive Health At-Risk Pop/Frail Elderly Health Total Quality Pts Available Max Potential Shared Savings % of savings generated 60% of savings generated 15
16 Quality Scoring and Shared Savings Calculation Example Total Performance Score Percentage Eligible shared savings Amount eligible for shared savings Eligible savings: 1-sided model = 50% 2-sided model = 60% Examples for 1-sided model* 90 th percentile = 100% * eligible savings (50%) = 50% savings 30 th percentile = 55% * eligible savings (50%) = 27.5% savings 16 * Total score based on all required measures
17 17 Timelines
18 Issues/Concerns Minimum thresholds on measures for eligibility Determination of benchmarks Appropriate scoring model Shared savings threshold needs to be raised to account for difficulty in achieving maximum quality score in years 2 and 3 18
19 19 Data Collection
20 Data Collection Three main mechanisms for data collection Surveys Claims analysis Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) Reporting Tool 20
21 GPRO Tool - Background Builds off group reporting option for large group practices: Physician Group Practice (PGP) Demo Physician Quality Reporting System group practice reporting option 1 (PQRS GPRO 1) Report on a sample of patients seen by the practice. CMS determines samples for each set of measures Pre-populates a database using claims information 21
22 GPRO Reporting Tool for ACOs Sample Patients Patients attributed to the ACO: plurality of E/M primary care services by primary care physicians Sample size: 411 consecutive patients per measure set/domain. If sample less than 411, ACO must report on all patients. Tool CMS pre-populates a database with patient demographics and utilization ACO fills out remaining information 22
23 Data Collection by Domain Domain # Measures Primary data collection Patient/Caregiver Experience 7 Survey Care Coordination 16 Claims analysis, GPRO Patient Safety 2 Claims or CDC National Healthcare Safety Network Preventive Health 9 GPRO At-Risk Pop/Frail Elderly Health Diabetes (10 measures) Heart Failure (7) Coronary Artery Disease (6) Hypertension (2) COPD (3) Frail Elderly (3) 31 GPRO and Claims analysis 23
24 Aligning with PQRS ACOs that meet quality requirements can receive PQRS Group incentive payment 0.5% incentive for Applies to all TINs in the ACO CMS does not propose to incorporate other incentive programs (Medicare EHR Reporting or E-Prescribing (erx) Incentive Program) 24
